The Scrap Pile Was Eventually Scrapped
More Tape and Record Show Enterprises archives recordings were, for some odd reason, digitally preserved this evening...

Episode 25 of "The TRS Scrap Pile" was officially the last "new" episode of that series to be "broadcast", thus the clipfest, and closing with the Carol Burnett tune. Episodes were aired out of order. Back in April 1985, episodes 26 and 27 were "broadcast", which were each 45 minute "best of" episodes(which I'll digitize later). Frankly, I was running out of ideas on ways to make the series, which was always "random" stuff from the archives, as "offbeat" as possible, so I decided to pull the plug, before it got silly... err... sillier...err...just a sad, pathetic shell of its former self. Also, at the close of the episode, you FINALLY hear the source of the maniacal "laugh" at the close of every episode after the closing theme. Listening again to that episode after these decades, it was a rather "sentimental" last episode for such an overall goofy series.
As for episode 24 of "The TRS Music Show", where else would you hear the names Horace Logan, Kelly(sp?) Boudreaux, Judy Wagoner, June Taylor, and Jack McCall all mentioned in the opening few minutes of a show? The "local folks" in this area will recognize the names from that time. Also, good these were "pretend" radio shows, because the "Barnes and Barnes" song in that episode might cause "issues" if actually "broadcast", even though half of the group was Bill Mumy of "Lost In Space" fame.
Being "The TRS Music Show", episode 25 wasn't your "typical" Christmas episode. Things REALLY got weird during and after the closing theme, with Paul going absolutely "bonkers".
